  std::map<std::string, std::string> stdMap = ...;

  for (const std::pair<std::string, std::string> &e : stdMap)
      doSomething(e.first, e.second);

  for (const auto &e : stdMap)
      doSomething(e.first, e.second);

The second loop is at least two orders of magnitude faster (doSomething() is 
an out-of-line no-op).

Thanks,
Marc
